About the author
I am 28 years old, working in the computer security and cryptography industry. I'm also studying towards a master's in mathematics.

I am one of the bureaucrats on Hebrew language Wikipedia, where I've been active since September 2004.

Abstract
We will present the Hebrew language Wikipedia by exploring its many special characteristics.

We will review how special projects such as writing contests and face-to-face educational activities help form a very involved community of writers. We will discuss the conflict management problems that the project faces, how the Arab-Israeli conflict is echoed in the project, the goals and aims of the Wikimedia Israel local chapter and other topics that make the Hebrew Wikipedia notable.
